Chapter 274 - Celestial Guests (1/2)

Lei Xing was still hugging her Emperor suddenly with her eyes closed, trying to distance herself from the surrounding bizarreness. She suddenly felt the Emperor stiffen and heard shocked gasps from the others around them. She knit her brows and then opened her eyes and froze in shock when she saw little balls of purple, blue, red, and black with surrounding halo of white little balls floating around her and the Emperor.

She looked up like the others to see that the balls were floating down from the four celestial bodies. The sky was also steadily turning to night, further enhancing the shine of the celestial bodies and the river of their fragments.

All four celestial bodies now appeared smaller and seemed to be shrinking as a river of lights steadily streamed into the Empress's palace, coming to swirl around where Lei Xing and the Emperor stood, forming a colorful enclosed wall of light.

Lei Xing then turned to the Emperor to receive another shock and her eyes went wide. She immediately grabbed his arms and held him back at arm's length. She knit her brows, opened her mouth and then closed it, in complete disbelief.

Today was really one thing after another.

She gulped and then tentatively said, ”You're glowing....” in a quiet raspy voice, that was almost like a whisper.

The Emperor smirked and then responded, ”You're glowing too~” in a sweet tone of voice.

Lei Xing frowned and irritatedly went, ”This is not the time for flirting! I mean you're physically actually glowing!” She stressed. The Emperor she was looking at had a blue light, almost like a fire radiating off of him. But obviously he was not on fire, she was holding his arms and it felt normal.

”I meant it...You're actually glowing.” The Emperor responded, somewhat amused. Lei Xing blinked at him and then looked down at her arms and then down at the rest of her body, just noticing that she too was glowing as well, glowing a fiery red.

{...Um - is this normal? OoO)...What the hell?! Of course, it's not normal! >_

Lei Xing looked down with a frown and took a few deep breaths to calm herself. The Emperor raised up a hand and pat her head and said, ”Don't worry...it'll be alright. The Voice said so and even your doctor said so...and you trust him, don't you?”

Lei Xing lightly nervously laughed and went, ”Sure...not really, it's complicated.” She honestly admitted. Doctor Lou seemed like a flighty person and so she had understandably had issues trusting his words. Not to mention, he liked to mess with people's minds, for all she knew he could saying absolute nonsense. He was definitely not the naturally trustworthy sort and neither was she the naturally trusting sort.

The Emperor smiled and stroked her hair and said, ”Trust me then...It'll be alright.”

Lei Xing nodded and then she looked at the increasingly densely packed swirling lights around them with knit eyebrows. She could barely see through the lights now, she took a step and stretched out her arm towards the swirling lights. But the Emperor promptly pulled her back and said, ”Don't touch them.”

Lei Xing frowned at him and went, ”But -”

”They could burn you.” The Emperor kindly advised. Lei Xing gulped and quickly withdrew her hand, she was curious but not that curious. Lei Xing stared at them, she truly could not wrap her mind around what was happening right now. Lei Xing knit her brows.

{...Oy, doc...is this is you doing this? (≖_≖ )...You're going to have a lot of explaining to do...later...}

She did not get a response and she honestly did not expect to at the moment with the Emperor holding her. Lei Xing sighed and then glanced at the Emperor who was calmly looking at her and went, ”Why are you so calm if you think they could burn us?”

”Why are YOU so calm?” The Emperor threw the question back at her with a little smirk.

”Do I look calm to you?” Lei Xing responded narrowing her eyes at him with a pout.

The Emperor lightly chuckled and pulled her back into his arms, ”It will be fine...” He was also feeling very confused and panicked on the inside but he had been trained to maintain a calm demeanor no matter the situation. As far as Lei Xing was safely in his arms, he really did not care what was happening. her presence soothed his heart and calmed his spirit.

He could also safely assume that whatever was happening right now was the Voice resolving things, somehow.

”Take your positions.” Doctor Lou calmly ordered with his eyes still closed. Ah Jin and Tung Mei nodded and promptly disappeared and reappeared within the wall of lights where Lei Xing and the Emperor stood.

”Are you sure you can do this?” Ah Jin asked looking at Tung Mei skeptically.

”Of course, it's just copying, it's simple enough~” Tung Mei offhandedly responded as she narrowed her eyes at the Emperor's arms wrapped around Lei Xing.
